I'm sitting here listening to music while I work and am pleasantly surprised to here Pentax mentioned in a song:

DIANA KRALL LYRICS - Popsicle Toes

"Popsicle Toes"

When God gave out rhythm
Sure was good to you
You can add, subtract, multiply and divide by two

I know today's your birthday and I did not buy no rose
But I wrote this song and instead I call it, Popsicle toes

Popsicle toes
Popsicle toes are always froze
Popsicle toes
You're so brave to expose all those Popsicle toes

You must have been Mr. Olympian
With all that amplitude
How come you always load your Pentax when I am in the nude
We are to have a birthday party and you can wear your birthday cloths
Then we can hit the floor and go explore those Popsicle toes

You've got the nicest north of America
This sailor ever saw
I like to feel your warm Brazil and touch your Panama
But Tierra del Fuegos are nearly always froze
We've got to seesaw until we un-thaw those Popsicle toes

Anyone else have examples? I started looking for older threads but didn't look to hard. We should make a sticky one...

I think this is the first time I've heard of Pentax being mentioned in a song. And here I was thinking Nikon had the song market cornered with "Kodachrome" by Paul Simon.

I found a mention of Pentax in a Science Fiction book and posted about it here:

Michael Franks wrote it and his recording got some radio airplay back in the late '70's.
I couldn't stand it, and never listened long enough to know Pentax was mentioned...

For anyone interested in listening, here is a link to an mp3...

Who can forget this Nikon/Canon video that disparages Pentax?

I WISH I could forget it. Not the Pentax reference...just the horribleness of the song in general.

I usually sing along to Kodachrome and yell PENTAX instead of Nikon for that particular line
